The base is a basic peat pot, the handle is bark-covered wire, and the “Easter grass” is just sphagnum moss, all easily found at your local garden or craft store.

To begin, cut a 6-inch length of bark covered wire and form it into a handle. Use an awl to carefully punch a hole in two opposite sides of a small peat pot, centering the holes near the top.

Going from the outside in, thread the ends of the wire through the holes. Bend the wire ends to secure.

Fill your basket with Sphagnum moss, and drop in a small, potted Echiveria, an Easter egg, or a few wrapped candies.
